November 13
Early departure, 7:30AM to travel 47 mile to Demopolis Yacht Basin. Normally we cruise at 9mph and sometimes we have to wait for barges to lock through before we can enter the lock. Commercial traffic always takes precedence over pleasure craft. We were able to practice our locking skills again at the Helfin Lock. We passed the spectacular White Cliffs of Epes, this is one of the most picturesque sites on the river. Before the cliffs we went under a twin span of bridges which was I-20 and I-59 which link such cities as Atlanta, Chattanooga and Birmingham to the east and Jackson, New Orleans, Dallas and Ft. Worth to the west. Today we came to the end of the Canal section of Tenn-Tom Waterway and entered The Black Warrior River. It was a great boating experience..
